Deepfakes Now Have Motion Control

We just published a new video looking at a shift we’re tracking closely: motion-controlled deepfakes.

Why this matters: Until recently, human movement gave away the real operator behind the scam, not the stolen identity. That mismatch would expose attacks and cause them to fail.

What's changing: Tools like Kling’s motion control, developed by Kuaishou, a China-based short-form video platform, remove that mismatch by generating fully embodied impersonations — without meaningful safeguards around real or public identities.

The result is scalable, convincing impersonation across fraud, social engineering, and identity abuse.
